**Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

[Adders]

Bangladesh will reach 100/2 at which point there'll be a few panic attacks among our resident England contingent, and then they'll promptly collapse for 150 or so.

First part of this message has come true. Waiting for the second and third.

All hope is now lost......we're doomed I tell you, doomed!!!

Ok, now that's out the way can we get on with part 3 now please??

103/2, cue the dumb sweep shot

 

[fredfertang]

Perverse that a decision to waste a review can alter the course of the match

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wasted review I reckon.

 

[cnerd123]

**** you vcs

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wasted review I reckon.

Glad I was wrong.

Well fj - that puts us firmly in the Kumar Dharmesena class of umpiring

To be honest I presumed it would turn too much and they were after the catch.

stump mic is pretty loud

honestly we rag on them all the time but we're not close to that good

I think that's a little harsh on Batty, but they'll definitely end up on the same lap with, sadly, only Kegga behind them

And sure enough Batty breaks through. Never fails.


Going back to one of these guys passing Salisbury's 76.95, maybe Rashid's likelier just because he's played fewer matches than Batty, so it will be easier for his average to significantly increase.

As for poor old Kegga, does he really count if he's only played one match?

Except for Cevno.

Cevno watching on TV is amazing.

Oh man that's just so out.

I think even in this test of record overturns the majority of reviews have still been pretty ambitious.

 

[Pothas]

That has got to be out.

 

[cnerd123]

IDK why Mahmadullah reviewed that, outside of the fact that it was Dharmasena who gave it out

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I missed that one, dog just threw up in kitchen.

Can he do it again.

I was just checking out some info on Gareth Batty. And, to my surprise, found out this is his 8th Test. Quite amazing to make a rentree a dozen years after his first stint! He is the first of this England team to play Test Cricket.

Well bowled young man.

And with that, his average drops below 60.

I think he's actually the first player on either side to play Tests given how the entire Bangladesh side are under 30.

Amazing how often 4th inning chases start well but end up well short.
